Step up to True Tinctures Step Up To True Tinctures See, Taste, and Feel the Difference!!! Dragon Herbs tinctures, “Dragon Drops,” are recognized by herbal connoisseurs around the world as the premier tonic herbal tinctures. They are alcohol-and-water extracts of the highest quality tonic herbs in the world. These highly concentrated fluid extracts are available in 2 ounce glass dropper bottles with glass droppers. Dragon Drops formulations are developed by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden. We buy our herbs directly from herb farmers and herb hunters and we only use “beyond commercial” grade A+ herbs. Excellence in 4 P’s Because of the fundamental difference in manufacturing methodology, Dragon Herbs tinctures pack substantially more substance into 1 fluid ounce than our competitors, some by 4433% more. See, taste and feel the difference * We use 27.7 grams/fl. oz. for 30% alcohol in our calculation. There are two primary natural solvents in this world: water and alcohol. The plants’ active compounds are usually either water-soluble or alcohol-soluble. The best full spectrum extraction method is to extract plants using both water and alcohol. That is how Dragon Drops are made. Our Dragon Drops go through two rounds of water extraction and 1 round of 2 Dragon Drops Others 1st Water extaction 2nd water extraction Alcohol extraction Condensation removes 95% solvents Oil trap of essential oils Potency Strong Weak Density Thick Thin Color Dark Light Solvents to Product Ratio 24 : 1 1 : 1 3 alcohol extraction. For every ounce of Dragon Drops, 24 ounces of solvents are used: a 24:1 solvents to finished product ratio to avoid reaching saturation point. More solvents mean more active constituents coming out and a more complete extraction. The extracted materials from all three rounds (water and alcohol) are then combined and condensed by removing the majority of the solvents, reducing the volume by 95%. Essential oils evaporated during the extraction are captured in oil traps and added back to the final extracts. What you receive in our tinctures are therefore the essence of the essence. It has the best of both worlds: all the water- soluble compounds AND alcohol-soluble compounds. Most tinctures on the market are not true extracts. They are actually just solvents infused with herbs. They do not go through an actual extraction and condensation process because the alcohol extraction and condensation equipment is very expensive; the facility has to be rigorously permitted by the government and the production process needs to be carefully controlled due to the combustibility of alcohol. As a result, most companies do not use heat in their tincture production so they do not have to invest in high tech equipment upfront and they can keep the ongoing operating costs low. In their low tech procedure, dry herbs are soaked in 20-90% alcohol then the infused solvent is sold. That is it. No heat, no condensing. What goes into the infusion tank is what comes out. A 1:1 solvents to finished product ratio. This means the saturation point is easily reached and much of the active constituents is left behind. The entire process can be summarized as “Soak-Stir-Sell”. The end products of “Soak-Stir-Sell” in tincture form are, in reality, solvents infused with herbs. Infusions are NOT extracts. They are thin, often light colored and very weak. Dragon Herbs produces its tinctures in a pharmaceutical factory. The factory is licensed to produce human injections, which has the strictest standards in pharmaceutical production. This means our tincture production, though not pharmaceutical, can benefit from the state-of-the-art facility and equipment and the best-in-class manufacturing practices that are already in place to meet the highest GMP standards. Above: Condensation tanks remove as much as 95% of solvents (water and alcohol) used during the extraction stage. This is a critical stage to ensure the finished product is as strong as possible. Middle: Water used to produce Dragon Drops is purified to high quality drinking water standards. Our computer controlled water filtration system involves 4 stages of filtration and multiple filtration mediums. Our filtration system is capable of outputting injection grade water. 4 Bottom: 4 Stage Water Filtration And Purification System Yes, Marie Kondo, our labels spark joy! Our Dragon Drops labels are inspired by artisan wine labels. Each label tells the unique story of a Dragon Drops: where they come from, what they are made of, why they are here and what they can do for you. If you examine them under the light, different angles reveal new layers and new details that are otherwise not visible or obvious, adding depth and intrigue to each Dragon Drops’ story. Look closely and you will be inspired by the beauty and magic of the botanical kingdom. Keep them out on the counter to encourage compliance. Compliance is the first rule of tonic herbalism: If you don’t take the herbs, they don’t work. Unlike other brands that make you read their labels, our labels speak to you. Tasting is believing: got to try them all!!! Anyone who has tried our Dragon Drops agrees ours is the best tincture on the market. 4 3/4” To help our customers explore our extensive collection of Dragon Drops, we offer trial size 1/4 oz Mini Drops at around $5.00.

Most major tonic herbs fall into this category because of their exquisitely balanced chemistry and double-direction activity. We are certain that this is the most complete collection of single-herb tonic tinctures in the world. Every one is made from the finest quality herbs and raw material available in the world, nothing less. The delicate flower of the Albizia julibrissin has been used for centuries in Asia as a superior Shen tonic. A properly-prepared extract of the freshly harvested flowers lifts the spirit, calms the emotions, stabilizes mood and points our psyche in a positive direction. In southern China, the flower from the Magnolia coco tree has been used similarly. This wonderfully aromatic flower has a powerful calming effect when one is overcome by anger, frustration, worry, fear, anxiety and other tough emotions.

  • Thinning Hair and Hair Loss
    Thinning Hair and Hair Loss Background: Hair loss, thinning hair and poor general hair health effects a very large number of people and these problems typically begin to manifest past the age of 40. However, the primary cause of hair loss is not age but a complex interaction between dozens of variables that include hormone imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, inflammation, free radical damage, poor diet, stress and poor sleep. However, when it comes to supporting hair health to encourage optimal hair growth, there is much that can be done. The key point is that hair loss is normal; the average adult has around 150,000 hairs on their head and loses around 100 of these a day. This is a normal process to allow new healthy hair to re-grow. Thus hair loss only becomes an issue if we lose more hair than we are able to replace. Thus when intervening to address thinning hair or hair loss, the priority is to ensure that the body is receiving all of the nutritional support needed to facilitate optimal hair growth whilst turning to specific herbal medicines to actually speed up the re-growth of new hair. Management Plan for Treating Hair Loss and Thinning Hair 1. Hair Supporting Herbal Tincture: There are many evidence based herbs that have been shown to effectively support general hair health whilst encouraging the growth of new hair. Interestingly, many of these herbs come from within the Ayurvedic system of medicine. When using herbal medicine to address hair loss, it is also really important to target and support liver function which plays an integral role in the breakdown and delivery of nutrients to the hair.

  • Making an Elderberry Syrup Or Elixir
    Making an Elderberry Syrup or Elixir Herbal syrups are water extractions of herbs (usually decoctions—see below) that are concentrated with a sweetener (preferably organic white sugar or raw honey). This sweetener provides a bit of nutritional support as a carbohydrate and also acts as a preservative. The concentration of sugar is particularly important when making syrups and elixirs; when in water, sugar acts as a food source for micro-organisms (especially molds and yeasts). However, at a high enough concentration, the sugar actually restricts the growth ability of micro-organisms. So we are aiming to get our syrup to be saturated enough to preserve, but not so saturated that the sugar overwhelms the liquid and causes crystallization. When preparing a syrup, one of the following ratios should be used: 1 part decoction : 1 part sweetener 1 part decoction : 2 parts sweetener I tend to follow the 1 part water : 1 part sweetener suggestion, as the 1 : 2 ratio is too sweet for me. But I have access to a refrigerator, which will also help with preservation. If you are keeping your syrup at room temperature, the 1:2 ratio is best. Syrups are a great, palatable method for delivery of herbal medicines (especially for children), and are also a great way to mask the flavor of less tasty tinctures--just combine the tincture and the syrup and you get the medicinal benefits of both. Preserving syrups with honey is also a great way to combine the medicinal benefits of the honey with the herbs that are being used. Do not give syrups preserved with honey to children under the age of one.

    THE NATIONAL FORMULARY OF UNOFFICINAL PREPARATIONS. FIRST ISSUE. BY AUTHORITY OF THE AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. BY THE AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. 1888. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 18SS, "by the AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION, lu the Office of the Librarian, of Congress at Washington. PREFACE. I T is well known that the remedies for which the Pharmacopoeia prescribes definite standards, constitute only a limited portion of the resources of the medical profession in the treatment of the sick. Without referring to the more ephemeral preparations, or to such as. are of a proprietary character, or are used by the public for self- medication, there is a large number of others* which are more or less frequently prescribed by physicians, or demanded by the public, but which are not recognized by the Pharmacopoeia, either because they were not deemed by the revisers to be of sufficient importance to be included in the official work, or because they' originated subse­ quently to the appearance of that work, or for other reasons. Owing to the absence of an authoritative standard, many of these unofficial preparations have been, and are being made, after different formulae, and in varying strength, so that the pharmacists, particularly in the larger cities, are compelled to procure and keep on hand a variety of brands of what is intended to be one and the same preparation, to satisfy the demands of their patrons, professional or otherwise. The evils arising from this condition of things are so well known and so far-reaching in their results, that there is no need of any argument in favor of a plan which may palliate the existing evil, chiefly caused by a lack of uniformity, or the want of a common standard.

  • How to Safely Use Methods of Cannabis Consumption
    How To Safely Use Methods of Cannabis Consumption Adjust the way you use cannabis. One of the great aspects of cannabis is that there are many ways to use the medicine effectively. Ingest via Eating This is one of the safest ways to consume your medication, but understand that the effects from eaten cannabis may be more pronounced and onset of the effects will be delayed by an hour or more and typically last longer than inhalation. Using edible cannabis effectively will usually take some experimentation with particular product types and dosage. Digesting cannabis also metabolizes the cannabinoids somewhat differently and can produce different subjective effects, depending on the individual. Use small amounts of edibles and wait 2 hours before gradually increasing the dose, if needed. Take care to find and use the right dose-excessive dosage can be uncomfortable and happens most often with edibles. Try cannabis pills made with hash or cannabis oil or ingest via Tinctures/Sprays Find your ideal dosage to enhance your therapeutic benefits. Start with no more than two drops and wait at least an hour before increasing the dosage, incrementally and as necessary. Apply via Topicals This is one of the safest ways to consume your medication and may be the best option for certain pains or ailments. Rubbing cannabis products on the skin will not result in a psychoactive effect. Inhale via Smoking Because the effects are noticed or felt quickly, this is a good way to get immediate relief and find the best dose for you. Research has shown that smoking cannabis does not increase your risk of lung or other cancers, but because it entails inhaling tars and other potential irritants, it may produce unpleasant bronchial effects such as harsh coughing.
